--- Comment #22 from Chris Mills <cmills@w3.org> ---
Research done. I think Seb should start working on some more mockups, unless
anyone else has major disagreement with my comments here:

Concepts

I think what Seb has created so far is pretty good. I did a search for a
concept icon, and found nothing much, except this icon on dribbble, which is
rather nice - http://dribbble.com/shots/313718-Concept-Icon. But I think the
lightbulb metaphor is likely to get confused with with both "idea" and
"creation", which is not really what we want.

HTML

There is an icon listed at http://www.w3.org/html/logo/#semantics-desc, which
we should consider using, as the W3C wants this to be the standard icon set for
describing the different technologies listed here. As an alternative viewpoint,
the noun project lists http://thenounproject.com/noun/html-code/#icon-No4991.

CSS

I had trouble with this one. Lea suggested
https://twimg0-a.akamaihd.net/profile_images/52124215/css_normal.png, but I
have never seen that before in my life, and couldn't find any other mention of
it (of course, saying that, it is very hard to search for CSS logos and find
anything else other than tutorials on implementing logos using CSS!). Has it
been used that much? Perhaps we should just go with something similar to the
CSS3 styling logo on http://www.w3.org/html/logo/#css3-styling-desc ?

Accessibility

The logo Seb has already drawn for accessibility looks like it is ok. I wanted
to go away from the wheelchair logo, as I've never liked this, plus the person
in the circle is listed on the noun project -
http://thenounproject.com/noun/accessibility/#icon-No1872 - as being a well
recognised logo for accessibility

JavaScript

The official JS logo can be found at https://github.com/voodootikigod/logo.js,
and is pretty well recognised these days. 

SVG

The official SVG logos are recorded at
http://www.w3.org/2009/08/svg-logos.html. I would either go for the flower logo
on it's own, or the half logo with "SVG" underneath it, as they are both fairly
good for fitting into a square.
